Support for diverse volume ranges
The MVS consists of equipment, software, aqueous solutions and highly characterized microtiter plates. The system is suitable for liquid volume measurements from 0.1 to 350.0 μL in a 96-well plate format or from 0.01 to 55 μL in a 384- well plate format. A mobile workstation allows for portable, convenient verification of equipment in multiple locations.
Employing a unique, dual-dye photometric method, the Artel MVS conveniently measures the dispensed volume from any 1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, 8-, 12-, 16-, 24-, 96-, and 384-channel liquid delivery device in less than ten minutes. The accuracy and precision performance of each dispensing channel is independently calculated and displayed with summary statistics by well, by row and by column.
When using the MVS Verification Plates and an Artel certified Plate Reader, the Artel MVS supports an unbroken chain of traceability to national and international standards.
The MVS complies with the Ratiometric Photometric Method according to ISO/IWA 15:2015 and can be used to fulfill test and calibration requirements of handheld or automated liquid handling systems according to CLSI QMS23:2019, ISO 17025:2017, cGMP, and cGLP. Data Manager Software can be used in laboratories compliant to 21 CFR Part 11.
Dispense Solutions
Dispense the Artel QualAssure solution and diluent into a verification plate & mix. No need to prepare in-house dyes or generate a standard curve.
Read the plate
MVS measures absorbance values and generates volume measurements independently in each well of the verification plate. No weighing is involved and environmental controls are not required.
Verify and record performance
The system automatically calculates accuracy and precision for individual volume values, for each tip or channel and provides summary statistics by well, row, and column. Results are stored in the MVS Data Manager software, and reports are ready to print or export.
